As per RFC 8032, section 5.1.7 (and section 8.4) we have to make sure s, which
is the scalar in the second half of the signature value, is smaller than L.
Without that check, L can be added to most signatures at least once to create
another valid signature for the same public key and message.
This could be problematic if, for instance, a blacklist is based on hashes
of certificates. A new certificate could be created with a different
signature (without knowing the signature key) by simply adding L to s.
Currently, both OpenSSL 1.1.1 and Botan 2.8.0 are vulnerable to this, which is
why the unit test currently only warns about it.
